Government’s Stand on Fair Recruitment
Speaking at a job offer distribution event, CM Saha emphasized that all government jobs are awarded based on talent and merit, following strict procedural guidelines.

However, CM Saha dismissed these claims, stating that unlike previous administrations, his government does not distribute jobs from party offices or through political connections.
Impact on Employment and Governance
The Chief Minister also pointed out that Tripura’s unemployment rate has significantly declined since 2018, dropping from 10% to 1.7%, below the national average. He credited this improvement to skill-based hiring practices and government initiatives supporting job creation.
Conclusion
CM Saha’s firm stance on merit-based recruitment reinforces his government’s commitment to transparency and fairness in public sector hiring. As Tripura continues to expand employment opportunities, the focus remains on ensuring equal access to jobs for deserving candidates.
